Sorry if you think I have intel on Dowuona but Painter and his staff just had an in-home visit(Florida) with him and it appears to have gone well. We have gotten a Crystal ball vote for him today and the 3 most recent votes have all gone our way. Dowuona(ED) is a long 6'11 player originally from Ghana with a high-upside potential; especially with Purdue. I'm Curious to see if he's apart of all y'alls ideal class and who else would make this class the best it can be.
My ideal would be: Trevion Williams 6'8, 270 - Had two games of at least 30 points and 30 rebounds last year while averaging 25 and 22(or maybe the other way around). Also had 5 triple doubles and passing is a strength of his.
Status: Committed to Purdue
Eric Hunter: 6'3, 170, SG/PG
We all want him and hopefully we will know in the coming weeks. It looked like he had a good time at the OSU game but as long as he remembers that it's about basketball we should be good here. Also Ohio State is trending with a handful of back-court players at the moment
Louis King: 6'8, 200, SF
He will probably be able to take Vince's spot as a freshman if he came given his talent. King was one of 3 or 4 players at the U19 games with Carsen that was still in High School. BTW he way out-performed Romeo Langford in those games and Calipari refused to offer him for some reason we can't fathom.
Tyger Campbell/ Duane Washington/ Colin Castleton/ Jaxson Hayes
You guys can talk from here. The 4 right above I believe are 4 players that we are some-what in the mix for as well. I think if we Don't get Hunter we could very well get Washington(AAU teammate of Trevion) and we could get Castleton as well(but more likely if ED commits elsewhere)
